"Suffer what is there to suffer, enjoy what is there to enjoy" : Jan-09

During this month discussion meeting, I will be sharing this Gosho "Happiness in this world", one of the Gosho which strikes me the most about life and happiness. In this short Gosho, Nichiren explained that in life, there are both times of suffering and of joy. These are all irreplaceable scenes in life's drama. Without suffering, we could not appreciate joy. Without tasting the flavours of both suffering and joy, we would not be able to savour life's profundity. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens.
